Life

Lüneburg citizen oath crystal

Hans Laffert was the son of Ludolf von Laffert, who died in 1419. He came from a Lüneburg Sülfmeister family originally from Braunschweig, which later became the Laffert family . Laffert is proven as Lafferde 1438 as a citizen in Lüneburg. He has been handed down as a goldsmith through the citizen's oath crystal, a chapel-shaped reliquary that he created and inscribed with dating to 1443 , which has been part of the collections of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin since 1874 as part of the Lüneburg Council Silver . Up until 1799, all Sülf masters swore the Lüneburg citizens' oath on this reliquary in the Lüneburg town hall . As a further work, a goblet with a paten from 1440 in the Nikolaihof monastery in Bardowick , which was then administered by the Lüneburg councilor Heinrich Lange as head , is ascribed to him, bearing the Laffert coat of arms (deer). In 1446 his wife Kerstina is mentioned in a document as a widow.

His son Meyne Laffert was also a goldsmith in Lüneburg around 1483/85 and died around 1486.
